  • To my fellow men: ignore the gaslighters in here. NAMI endorses this month, and they are a highly regarded non-profit for mental health advocacy and support. I don’t think OP posted it here ironically b/c they actually posted the NAMI link outlining their support of men’s mental health.

    Hope you all the best and take care of yourselves. Also, if you feel alone, NAMI has a search engine to help find support groups, meetup has a lot (just gotta expand your city search for remote meetups), always explore your insurance’s therapy coverage if you have insurance, and if all that fails, chatgpt provides some decent feedback and perspective without marginalizing your experiences like an asshole would.


  • They should do this by socioeconomic breakdowns. I’m curious how the groups compare when controlling for that.

    ETA: After reading the study, it’s worth noting that research is being conducted into depression and loneliness contributions (if any) to inceldom, but the “strongest” evidence is that inceldom causes depression and loneliness, but not necessary the other way around. Excluding that detail will only serve to further negatively stigmatize men that have depression issues regardless of the nature of that depression.

    And there should be more acknowledgment to the fact that the effect sizes were closer to small than anything, and the R-squared were very small meaning that gender actually explained very little about the variations in satisfaction levels, meaning it’s explanatory power for their sample is limited and that the difference itself has a lot of room to be explained by other factors. So while gender did have a consistent effect on satisfaction levels, it was a small difference and it explained very little of the overall variation.

    Please keep these kinds of considerations in mind when reading these papers.
